Brothers Chris and G.P. Partland are from the small community of Colgan, north of Toronto. They played in many area bands before moving their act to Toronto in 1979 and forming Oliver Heavyside, a Toronto bar staple for years. In 1983 they entered the Q107 Homegrown Contest and won which attracted the attention of Capitol Records. Their first album as the Partland Brothers, 'Electric Honey', was released in 1986 and the first single, "Soul City", went Top 10 in Canada and Top 30 in the US, earning them tours with the Moody Blues and the Beach Boys south of the border, and headline gigs of their own at home; their live band engaged seasoned live performers, including bassist Tom Lewis. They were also nominated for Most Promising Group at the 1987 Junos. Produced by Vini Poncia and featuring the talents of countless studio favourites, the album was reissued in 1987 with the Jim Vallance-produced song "One Chance", which is still played on many adult radio stations today. Management struggles ensued and it took until 1990 for them to record and release their second album, 'Between Worlds', produced by Jon Goldsmith (Bruce Cockburn) and once again enlisting many of the city's most admired session people, including Ken Greer, Hugh Marsh, Steve Webster, Jorn Anderson, and Lisa DalBello. The brothers played occasionally, highlighting the talent of, among others, Refugee's lead guitarist Rob Kennedy. It was another three years and a label change before their last studio album, 'Part Land, Part Water', was released on Kinetic Records. Production was given over to Ken Greer (Red Rider guitarist, Tragically Hip producer) who also played lead guitars, pedal steel, mandolin, bass, and all keyboards on the album. Occasional dates ensued but the band chose to stay close to home rather than tackling an all-out tour. These days the brothers Partland can be found backing up Ronnie Hawkins on the road in Canada and the US.

Soul City
Partland Brothers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy, you're looking great
Yeah, you got what it takes alright
There's life outside your window, babe
Step into the moonlight

Babe, we're gonna ride far outta this town
Driving into the setting sun
To be there with you

Dancing to the sound of our hearts beating as one

Soul City
That's where we're heading
Dancing and singing 'til dawn
Soul City
That's where we're going
And we won't be back 'til the money's all gone

Man, this place is hopping
Dancing, singing, talking, rocking this town
Nobody down
Shake it with me, fake it with me
Don't ever take this feeling from my heart, just getting ready to start

Babe, I can see you don't ever wanna leave
Gonna do what's never been done
To be here with you
Dancing to the sound of our hearts beating as one

Soul City
That's where we're heading
Dancing and singing 'til dawn
Soul City
That's where we're going
And we won't be back 'til the money's all gone

Soul City
That's where we're heading
Dancing and singing 'til dawn
Soul City
That's where we're going
And we won't be back 'til the money's all gone

All of you who are looking for that rush tonight
Who are desperately searching for their heart
You wanna let go, there's one thing you'll know
That distant city is some place to start

Soul City
That's where we're heading
Dancing and singing 'til dawn
Soul City

That's where we're going
And we won't be back 'til the money's all gone

This song is part of a VERY Happy Coincidence:

In 1986, I started a new job that required a lot of travel, though pretty much all within the State of Indiana. One of the first assignments I received was in Tell City, ~halfway between Louisville, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana. This song was on the radio a lot at the time. From the first time I heard it, I LOVED this song. Thus, while driving, I sang it along, many times. Thankfully, no one was ever in the car with me. LOL

I had been long-term unemployed and was just SO Happy to be working again. This was my fourth job, but it was the first that I thought I could make a Career out of. Unfortunately, certain "things" happened and I wound up leaving (voluntarily). I had a Good Run, ~six years, second longest time I stayed anywhere. And this song reminds me of one of the best assignments during one of my favorite jobs in my ten-job career.

Thank you for a GREAT Song, Gentlemen!

Another Canadian classic. The car they're driving so reminds me of my '64 Pontiac Parisienne ragtop and all the cruising I did in it while listening to the great sounds of the 60s-80s. "And we won't be back til the money's all gone!" Sounds like a lot of the roadtrips my buds and I took before this song even hit the airwaves. Songs of the 60s thru the 80s are what's keeping me young.

Later that year I went on holiday to the US for the first time and on my second day I went to a record store and bought the Electric Honey album on cassette. Soul City sounds as fresh today as it did in 1987 and it still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. An all time classic from a fabulous band. Great video too!

@@indianathiessen I listen to a lot of AOR in general so I'm familiar with them. I went through a period in my life a few years back where I'd listen to Canadian classic hits stations online to see what I was missing out on as an American. Really introduced me to some underrated artists like Platinum Blonde, Tragically Hip and Sass Jordan.

@@termitesc.aardwolf3644 Cool. The Hip have always been huge in Canada. Streetheart was a great rock band that Americans missed out on unfortunately. Platinum Blonde is always on radio up here

This song reminds me of bar where me and my friends hung out listening to cool bands and drank a lot of beer. Miss those days.

Listening to the radio earlier brought me to this song today. I remember hearing it off and throughout the years and I honestly no idea who sang it. Now I know who does. 🙂 Awesome tune - I love it! I also love that a Canadian band sings it.

Great to hear Erin, happy 80s trails from Arnprior ON.

You guys were awesome. Well, you're probably still awesome, lol.

These guys are awesome. The concert footage reminds me of a Prism concert I went to a few years ago. It was a small venue and so similar to what this video was. It was fantastic. Brought me back to when they actually played music. Love this era.

When I was stationed in Korea in the late '80s, every time I went on a weekend pass to Seoul, this song was my personal earworm. Good times.

Another Top 25ish gem from the '80s that deserves more airplay, but sadly, doesn't get it.

I had a random memory listening to this song. It was the beginning of August 1987 and I was bummed because it was the last month of summer vacation from school. Now, I wish I could have two and half months off from work!
